If youre planning not to vote because your presidential candidate didnt win the primary or because you feel disenfranchised with our two party political system, not only is that the greatest insult to every man and woman who ever died to give us the freedom to vote, its actually a vote for Barack Hussein Obama! So before you decide to sit this one out, you need to ask yourself the following questions:

Do you want . . .

* A president who has us on the road to serfdom? * A president who advocates higher taxes? Wealth redistribution, less freedom and less opportunity? * A president coated in Teflon who freely gets away as an accomplice to the murdering of innocent Americans? * A president who circumvents the constitution, but bows to Saudi kings? * A president who nationalizes sectors of our free market economy and single handedly picks winners and losers? * A president who forces you to buy goods and services you dont want and then fines you for not following his orders? * A president who is systematically bankrupting our country while giving away tens of billions of dollars to our enemies abroad? * A president who, for the first time in American history, is robbing your children and grand children of the same freedoms, opportunities and dreams that were handed down to you and me? * A president who does not believe in the supremacy and exceptionalism of the United States of America? * A president who despises our military so much that he jeopardizes our national security by cutting their budget in half? * A president who is about to foist the single biggest tax increase on the American people in the 237-year history of our country come January 1st? * A president whose political ideology takes delight in a record 47 million Americans now on food stamps? * A president who invests tens of billions of dollars in failing green companies that are headed by some of his biggest campaign donors? * A president who refuses to approve a desperately needed oil pipeline that would help put many Americans to work while decreasing our dependence on foreign oil? * A president who usurps the Constitution, ignores the separation of powers, thumbs his nose at congress and issues executive orders with impunity? * A president with deeply rooted ties to domestic terrorists and radical Muslims and Marxists? * A president whose upbringing was heavily influenced by radical Communists and Socialists? * A president who appoints members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood to his cabinet? * A president who shuns the leader of Israel, our only democratic ally in the Middle East, in favor of appearances on celebrity T.V. talk shows? * A president who makes back door deals with leaders of Communist countries conditioned upon his reelection? * A president who favors partial birth abortion? * A president who produces a proven fraudulent electronic long form birth certificate? * A president who has paid 2 million dollars to keep his medical, educational and travel records hidden from the American people? * A president who is the first Commander-in-Chief in American history to violate the War Powers Act? * A president who was held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling? * A president who terminated Americas space program? * A president who has appointed 45 czars to implement his personal agenda and reduce the United States to just another country in the New World Order? * A president who not only promised to reduce the debt, but instead increased it by more than 50% in only four years? * A president whose energy policy has resulted in gas prices doubling under his stewardship? * A president who betrayed the American people and joined a foreign country in a lawsuit against a state in his own country for actually enforcing illegal immigration laws? * A president who presided over the most incompetent and inept Department of Justice that funneled guns to Mexican drug cartels who then used those guns to kill innocent Americans and law enforcement officers? * A president who presided over the largest decrease of American wealth, a mind boggling 40%, in only four years? * A president whose policies have resulted in a staggering 23 million Americans either out of work or woefully underemployed?

I could go on, but theres not enough time to list all the atrocities of Barack Hussein Obama before the elections.

If you dont vote on November 6th, you actually are voting  voting for the road to ruin. Its our civic duty to vote.

If you dont like the political process or the candidates that process has produced, you still have the freedom to change it. But dont dishonor the selfless sacrifice of patriotic Americans who preserved your right to vote out of spite for the current system.

And until we have a new and improved system, dont delude yourself into believing that not voting makes you neutral. It doesnt. It makes you null and void. Vote . . . its your blood-bought duty!

There are sore losers among republicans. There are some one issue voters. And then there are some juvenile brain level people who will take their toys home if the game does not go their way.

Luckily, the sum total of these unthinking voters is insignificant compared to more realistic and intelligent voters. So I do not worry about these voters. There are plenty of independents who are moving towards Romney/Ryan ticket.

It seems like many quasi-conservatives the 2012 election has uncovered, you seem to believe that votes appear in candidate tallies by unicorn magic. This is not the case.

I would once again prove this with simple math, but people who believe that ‘no’ vote for a given candidate increases the vote total of another are simply too stupid to warrant discussion with.

That you have a radio show in which you can spread that mistaken info proves you to be no better than the MSM as you are doing EXACTLY what they do.

Fact: A conservative is not ‘required’ to assist in the further destruction of his ideology and everything that made America what it is to promote the further march of liberalism into the Republican Party. Period. If you personally choose to participate in the further destruction of America by advancing liberalism in either of the two dominant political parties, that is your choice.

If you believe that you are doing the right thing, go for it. Some people believe in unicorns too. Personally, I don’t believe you have the demonstrated the intelligence to discern that as a problem.

DO CONSERVATIVES"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" WANT TO WIN IN 2012 OR NOT?

Palin was my first choice, but she dropped out. Bachmann became my first choice,and she dropped out. Cain was my second choice, but he dropped out. Now ... Newt was my second choice, but he challenged Rush. So now ... Rick Santorum, who use to be my third choice, is now my first choice.

This, though, isnt meant to suggest that any of the candidates, all things being equal, lack what it takes to insure that Barack Obama never sees the light of a second term; nor is it the case that I find none of the candidates appealing. Rather, I simply mean that at this juncture, the party faithful is far from unanimously energized over any of them.

It is true that it was the rapidity and aggressiveness with which President Obama proceeded to impose his perilous designs upon the country that proved to be the final spark to ignite the Tea Party movement. But the chain of events that lead to its emergence began long before Obama was elected. That is, it was actually the disenchantment with the Republican Party under our compassionate conservative president, George W. Bush, which overcame legions of conservatives that was the initial inspiration that gave rise to the Tea Party.

It is this frustration with the GOPs betrayal of the values that it affirms that accounts for why the overwhelming majority of those who associate with or otherwise sympathize with the Tea Party movement refuse to explicitly or formally identify with the Republican Party. And it is this frustration that informs the Tea Partiers threat to create a third party in the event that the GOP continues business as usual.

If and when those conservatives and libertarians who compose the bulk of the Tea Party, decided that the Republican establishment has yet to learn the lessons of 06 and 08, choose to follow through with their promise, they will invariably be met by Republicans with two distinct but interrelated objections.

First,

they will be told that they are utopian, purists foolishly holding out for an ideal candidate.

Second, because virtually all members of the Tea Party would have otherwise voted Republican if not for this new third party,

they will be castigated for essentially giving elections away to Democrats.

Both of these criticisms are, at best, misplaced; at worst, they are just disingenuous.At any rate, they are easily answerable.

Lets begin with the argument against purism. To this line, two replies are in the coming.

No one, as far as I have ever been able to determine, refuses to vote for anyone who isnt an ideal candidate. Ideal candidates, by definition, dont exist. This, after all, is what makes them ideal. This counter-objection alone suffices to expose the argument of the Anti-Purist as so much counterfeit. But there is another consideration that militates decisively against it.

A Tea Partier who refrains from voting for a Republican candidate who shares few if any of his beliefscan no more be accused of holding out for an ideal candidate than can someone who refuses to marry a person with whom he has little to anything in common be accused of holding out for an ideal spouse. In other words, the object of the argument against purism is the most glaring of straw men:

I will not vote for a thoroughly flawed candidate is one thing; I will only vote for a perfect candidate is something else entirely.

As for the second objection against the Tea Partiers rejection of those Republican candidates who eschew his values and convictions, it can be dispensed with just as effortlessly as the first.

Every election seasonand at no time more so than this past seasonRepublicans pledge to reform Washington, trim down the federal government, and so forth. Once, however, they get elected and they conduct themselves with none of the confidence and enthusiasm with which they expressed themselves on the campaign trail, those who placed them in office are treated to one lecture after the other on the need for compromise and patience.

Well, when the Tea Partiers impatience with establishment Republican candidates intimates a Democratic victory, he can use this same line of reasoning against his Republican critics. My dislike for the Democratic Party is second to none, he can insist. But in order to advance in the long run my conservative or Constitutionalist values, it may be necessary to compromise some in the short term.

For example,

as Glenn Beck once correctly noted in an interview with Katie Couric, had John McCain been elected in 2008, it is not at all improbable that, in the final analysis, the country would have been worse off than it is under a President Obama. McCain would have furthered the countrys leftward drift, but because this movement would have been slower, and because McCain is a Republican, it is not likely that the apparent awakening that occurred under Obama would have occurred under McCain.

It may be worth it, the Tea Partier can tell Republicans, for the GOP to lose some elections if it means that conservativesand the countrywill ultimately win.

If he didnt know it before, the Tea Partier now knows that accepting short-term loss in exchange for long-term gain is the essence of compromise, the essence of politics.

Ironically, he can thank the Republican for impressing this so indelibly upon him.

I'm fresh out of "patience", and I'm not in the mood for "compromise". "COMPROMISE" to me is a dirty word. Let the RINO's compromise their values, with the conservatives, for a change.

That anyone voting for a staunch Conservative at the top of the ticket by write in or third party and in-full down ticket is declared by the scared-to-death herds to be voting FOR Obama, is beyond absurd.

This election farce has demonstrated how shallow and insignificant liberty truly is to a vast bunch of people insisting everyone march in lockstep out of abject fear.

My vote is sacred and I will exercise my liberty to cast it for whom represents my values, faith and principles. To ridicule or otherwise denounce those who are not marching in lockstep with the demands of the fearful, showcases just how tyrannical they themselves really are in terms of liberty. They would deny it as quickly and ruthlessly as the Marxists based on all the incendiary threats and condescension I’ve read over the last 5 months.

We’re not limited to vote only for a Democrat Socialist or an American-hating Marxist for president.

I refuse to be a slave of the Ruling Class and limited to the box they have shoved us all into.
